We had so much fun celebrating Valentine's Day today! We started the day making a special craft for someone we love!
Then we passed out our Valentine's to our friends! These are in your kiddos backpacks, so make sure they take them out tonight! We then had some inside recess and a PIZZA PARTY!
We had some fun sorting and stacking conversation hearts! I believe our highest tower was 12 conversation hearts high!
We played Valentine's Day Bingo too!
I love celebrating special days with these kiddos! I am so lucky to have 16 Valentines right in my classroom!
We started out Valentine's Day having a breakfast party! The kids passed out their Valentine's and ate donuts and juice. We played a game with conversation hearts to see how high we could stack them, the record was set at 13 hearts high! The kids had a lot of fun trying to beat their own personal records!
After our party we wrapped up our party we finished up our Kindness Week activities by delivering roses to staff members around the school. The teachers and staff members loved the nice surprise and the kids did a great job thanking them for helping us learn, grow and be safe!
Before we delivered our last rose to Miss Hannah, the students all wanted to take a picture with the rose...they all looked so cute holding the roses so I could not resist!
Next week should be a more normal week, back to our regularly scheduled program of Kindergarten! Friday night is the Clark School Dance. If you are planning to attend return the pink sheet so we can get a general idea for pizza. If you do not return the sheet, you may still attend, so if you don't think you can make it, but plans change last minute, come on out to the dance!
If you checked out the book fair last week at conferences, you may have noticed that I recommended this book. It really is a great story! I used to own this book, but when I moved from my old school to Clark School, some things got lost in the shuffle and this was one of them. Lucky for me, this was purchased and donated to our classroom. If you have never seen the book, here is a great youtube reading of the story...
After lots of giggles reading the story and talking about how great it was that the main characters WANTED to lose, we had a Rock, Paper Scissors, single elimination, tournament. (I was eliminated in the second round by a very adorable kinder kid who shall remain nameless) The kids had so much fun cheering each other on. Our winner was................
In other news, this week is Kindness Week at our school. To celebrate, today we made cards for someone important to us! The kids worked really hard to write their best sentences and make their card beautiful!
The kids really did a great job working hard on their cards, and their reasons for loving were so sweet and thoughtful!
Just a reminder that we will be having donuts and orange juice for Valentine's Day first thing Friday morning. Please make sure your child brings his/her Valentine's to school with them Friday morning (they can bring them in any day, we just need to have them Friday morning so we can pass them out). Please only have your child write their name on the from part and leave the to part blank. This expedites the passing out process tremendously. If you need Valentine's for your child, we have a limited amount available on an as needed basis. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Check back tomorrow to see what we learned in math today!
